Fiber-Based Work on The Subject of Motherhood
Artist: Kate Kretz

2012 Textile Society Conference
Washington, D.C.



Seeking examples of work in fiber-based media on the topic of motherhood for a paper to be delivered at the 2012 Textile Society Conference in Washington, D.C. Artist Kate Kretz will be delivering a lecture entitled The Final Art Taboo: Identity Politics of Motherhood.

Female artists have gained some ground in the art world over the past few decades, but there are still unspoken rules remaining: artists who happen to be mothers tend to keep it quiet lest they be written off, and heaven forbid they make art on the subject. While art historians have always studied and noted the influence of travel, friends, and milieux on the work of male artists, the most profound and life-altering experience of all has been ignored in these discussions of creative inspiration, because it is an exclusively female phenomenon. This paper will feature work done by cutting edge contemporary textile artists who have artistically “come out” as mothers, addressing the topic with humor, depth, and sometimes, shocking candor. Fiber, a medium that references protection, nurturing, and other motherly attributes, serves as the perfect vehicle for art evoking the complex nature ofcontemporary motherhood.

To have your work considered for inclusion, please email website links or up to 3 jpeg images to kkretz4art@aol.com by March 31st.
